A platform asked: Is it still an official if there is no grade in the classic history, what are the soap classes, fast classes, head catchers, fast catchers, and white servants?
My answer is as follows:
The canonical history belongs to the chief officer, and it is the last position in the officialdom.
In the county government of the Ming Dynasty, there were chief officials, second officials, subordinate officials, and officials.
The prefect, or prefectural order, was formally appointed by the imperial court.
The status of the officials is not high, and they nominally belong to the official service, but in fact, the county magistrate often calls these people around, beats and scolds them.
Although Xu is responsible for the specific business in the county and is familiar with various laws and regulations, he is not included in the nine products. However, Xu officials can rely on their familiarity with the local business, so they engage in all kinds of moths and bully the magistrate according to this.
Below the county order are the two officials, and there are mainly two officials, one is the county and the other is the main book.
The Ming Dynasty's second officials were also appointed by the imperial court like the county order.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a difference between a large county and a small county, because of the busy affairs in the big county, so some counties, there were several main books, and some small counties did not even have a second official, mainly because some county orders liked to monopolize power, so they told the court that the county was redundant (there were too many people), so they transferred the second official away, so that the county order was realized to be in charge of a county decree.
The third layer in the prefectural order is the subordinate officials.
The officials at this level belong to the jurisdiction of the county, and the grade belongs to the last stream, that is, the lowest from the ninth grade.
The history of the canon is the head of the canon, the Yu Lu is eight buckets of rice per month, forty taels of money, the beginning of the canon history to the canon to move out of the cashier as the main responsibility, later, slowly evolved into the county lieutenant, mainly in charge of patrolling, arresting, prison.
However, the status of the canonical history is very low, and it is under the jurisdiction of the county, so the canonical history is very uncomfortable in front of the boss on weekdays. When you encounter a bad county, you are basically scolding people at every turn.
Of course, the canon history is still very majestic in front of ordinary people.
Further down, there are the servants, these positions are more chaotic and have no rank, but they have a lot of power.
Such as fast shifts, head catchers, and fast catchers belong to the county's personnel positions, and they are all expected to stay in the county for a long time, so the collusion with the county's squires is more serious.
The officials are basically divided into three categories, one is the one who is on duty to watch the gate, that is, the soap officer.
One is responsible for arrests, and the other is responsible for public security.
That's roughly the case.
